Just syphoned the fluid out of my FL2 Power Steering resevoir and it's definately red. Waiting for green stuff to arrive now then I can replace it.

You said/asked that already ... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/newbie-question-is-this-rust-bad-under-a-td5-90.398557/post-5851978

Hi there, A friend of mine has a very big air compressor and blasting kit/gun. I've been researching and I've been reading soda blasting is good, which gives a good finish with the benefit that it doesnt wreck rubber or wiring etc. Or do you...

I refurbed mine recently, just happened to have a tin of blue enamel boat paint in garage, used cup wheel on outside, few costs of primer and this paint went on beautiful, colour match close enough for me

thanks 👍

👍 Thanks

🤣🤣 Just looked at that now and just realised what it is reflection of a VW alloy wheel Well spotted ,

Looks like Belize Green, paint code 756

Green ... //Edit: https://paintman.co.uk/shop/land-rover-belize-green-lrc756/ \\ @Galladog spotted this first ... Whats really good is that you have a Trilobite fossil embedded in the door. Probably worth more than the car itself ...

Hi Can anyone identify colour what green this 2003 defender is Thanks in advance Micheal

I haven't driven into the water in the way mentioned. I don't know about the previous ones. They have a stamp 2 96 which could be the date of manufacture? They may have been damaged during this time. The noise is a kind of rattling, as if a metal...

That would actually be quite nice.

No battery management on 2005 and that year is not set up for AGM batteries best stick to lead acid.

I went for the cheap option, only about £300! I got one of those chinese made Static arc MIGs and bit the bullet and got a proper gas bottle to go with as I knew I needed to go gas really. But it totally paid for itself just for this one job so...

Seriously though if you are paying and the rest of the chassis is OK then bite the bullet and get the crossmember replaced , if it's a keeper.

I bought a welder especially to do the same job. Ok it cost about £500 or so but cheaper than paying for welding.

I guess I should mention the cross member had been replaced atleast once before.

🙄

Oh no! Mine had a couple of small bits in the same places, seems like a common place to start rusting through. For me it went from investigating why there was a circular plate screwed onto the crossmember, to cutting some holes, buying a new...

Mornin Lovely sunny morning Making something to change oil in power steering today, two bottles, some tube etc Off to water plants before it gets too warm Stay cool all :)

Aha, OK one word of advice is to let the shoes cool between stops. Depending on the quality of the shoe they can overheat and shed the material 😱

Addition to the previous one: The catalytic converter has the identification ESR2580, which I can only find on some old ones that have been cut off.

Could simply be a batt with enough power to turn it over but not enough to fire the injectors. did it run until you disconnected the jump leads? or did it stall out while still connected? Have you stuck a diagnostic on it? Welcome to the...

Drums in the centre of the discs. Exactly the same as my facelift 3.6 and I had no issue at all. I can't see that I'm doing anything different to what I did before or what is in this detail, Kermit's description or any video I've watched! I...

Morning All. :D Another hot one. Don't mind if I do. :) Shopping later. :( Have a great day. :D

Just a few taps around the yoke assembly needed nothing major kiddo. 👍 We've got 38' with a phased prop and a 38' without, it's a good question about phasing 🤔

No.

On machinery etc yes different colours, but think std colour was always black.
